Controller
To remove and install the IBM ServeRAID-BR10i SAS/SATA Controller, complete
the steps in this section.
Removing the IBM ServeRAID-BR10i SAS/SATA Controller
To remove the IBM ServeRAID-BR10i SAS/SATA controller from the system board,
complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information in “Safety” on page vii and “Installation guidelines”
on page 39.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords.
Note:
When you disconnect the power source from the server, you will lose the
ability to view the LEDs because the LEDs will not be lit with the power source
removed. Before disconnecting the power source, make a note of which LEDs
are lit, including the LEDs that are lit on the operation information panel, the
EasyLED panel, and LEDs that are lit inside the server on the system board;
then, see “EasyLED” on page 157 for information on how to solve the problem.
3. Remove the cover (see “Removing and replacing the cover” on page 43).
4. Disconnect the signal cables that are attached to the drive backplane from the
connectors on the controller.
5. Grasp the SAS/SATA controller near the end next to the power-supply cage and
press the black plastic tab (next to the power supply) that is holding the
controller in place toward the power supply.
6. Pull up on the SAS/SATA controller until the RAID riser card assembly
disengages from the connector on the system board.
